Bingo! Avahi can handle All the phone wireless print needs.
Hi again With most retail outlets unwilling to let me try to connect to their boxed printers, I've had to go with what my friends have. Both the following work from my 'phone just standing near them and 'sharing' the photo with the printer. Here are the 13.2 results using yast in an attempt to set them up:
Epson wf2530 wifi is not recognised only works via usb does a hi res 10x15 print on photo paper right to the edge
HP 4500 wifi recognised doesn't print to the edge always prints at the same (low) resolution, despite what I set
Questions: - does anyone have the epson working with wifi? - does anyone have the hp working at different resolutions?
Thanks, B
I have an HP C4580. I don't know if that's the same type as you're referring to. It's often named 'HP 4500 series' in the settings but it's several years old. I got mine secondhand a year or two ago. Maybe the one you're referring to is much newer.
It does print edge-to-edge and at higher resolutions. All controlled via HPLIP.

Hi. Just had a look. No, it's not the same series. Just thinking out loud: After a lot of trial and error I found the alternative hp-setup in Yast. This gives the option of mDNS/bonjour which seems to be responsible for giving me the wifi connection. Is there anything similar for the epson?
I only know that I set up the wireless by running hp-toolbox, and choosing the option from the main menu of icons there. I did it more than once from more than one machine, having fiddled with my static address settings on the router, and in at least one case the process wasn't entirely smooth. Once configured in YaST or via the hp-toolbox, you can visit localhost:631 in a browser to explore the CUPS options. They're not always totally obvious to navigate either.
